The research area of my laboratory is Host pathogen interaction and molecular immunology. We are working on infectious disease agents like M. tuberculosis, Herpesviruses and other viruses. We are trying to decipher immune evasion strategies of intra-cellular pathogens. Vaccine studies against tuberculosis are underway. Our laboratory is also trying to exploit exosomes as therapeutic tools against intracellular pathogens.
